Television 'The Last of Us' HBO series (Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey to Star)

[GSP_37]

Yeah, but sexuality has no role in the original game.

Of course, the game sequel is going heavy on the lesbian themes, so HBO is going heavy on that.

Anyway, in the 90s and 2000s, nudity was basically cheap special effects. Now with everyone being able to look up thousands of porn scenes on their phones, the appeal has weakened.

Now, its basically the show's developers saying 'yeah, its a shitty show, but you got to see some nice boobs and asses, right? Please keep watching the shitty show to see more boobs and asses!'

I think the last show I watched for the nudity, was Spartacus, and within a few episodes the show became so good it didn't need nudity, but it kept showing it anyway.

I'm desensitized to boobs and buns. I need them to push the limits and show well lit full frontal slo mo. I think in Cinemax's Strike Back, they got some often seen internet nude models like Sandra Shine to do full frontal outdoors. Very gratuitous scene.

I looked her up a few hours ago, and she's 15 now. Perfect age to play Ellie.

But... I was quite surprised how she looked in recent photos. Apparently she's Italian & British, and her features are really starting to set in.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

No, seriously, the character Ellie is 14 in The Last of Us.

 

[JackWhite]

Yeah, the resemblance is undeniable.

But what is also undeniable is Ellie is 14-15 in the game, Ellen page is now 33 and looks like this.

Damn. That wall hit her hard.

 

[FyrFytr998]

No, seriously, the character Ellie is 14 in The Last of Us.

Hugh would be an A+ casting....

But it'd be too reminiscent of 'Logan.'
*Protect a girl as they travel cross-country.*

And he'd require too high of a price tag, so its probably best to not get your hopes up too high.

There's several actors who'd be perfect for the role, and I'd bet @Dragonlordxxxxx would love make some picks of who his favorite actors for each role would be.

Joe Manganiello is a pretty obvious pick IMO

HBO officially gets their version of Walking Dead.

Feel like Justin Theroux could make a good Joel

 

[Henry Swanson]

Fell like Justin Theroux could make a good Joel

Like this choice.

 

[Henry Swanson]

I like Sophia Lillis as Ellie.

 

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

HBO has an incredible reputation. I only expect the best from them. Considering The Last of Us is one of my all-time favourite games. It’s without question I’m looking forward to this.

 

[Bloody Pulp]

HBO likes to recycle actors between their shows so I could Nikolaj getting the nod for Joel.

 

[qw3rty]

I like Sophia Lillis as Ellie.

Isn't she a little old for that?
Also very gingerish.

 

[Henry Swanson]

Isn't she a little old for that?
Also very gingerish.

They could dye her hair. She’s only 18.

Jackie Chan would be perfect to play as Joel. Just add in that Joel knows Kung Fu and can take on dozens of zombies using a folding table. And when he's drunk, multiply that by 10. He can take on hundreds of zombies with a folding chair.

I like Sophia Lillis as Ellie.

The thing is, Ellie being gay was a BIG surprise in the TLoU's 'Left Behind' DLC, and for those that didn't play that, the TLoU2's first trailer.

Upon just LOOKING at Sophia Ellis's pics its quite obvious she's gay. The pic posted above is the most masculine looking, but even in the ones she's trying to look feminine its still obvious.

I get that not everyone's played the game, but I hope that some surprises in the game are brought over to the series and not spoiled upon the viewer.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

They could dye her hair. She’s only 18.

See above.

It won't help much.

 

[ens189]

Very excited about this. The game is the GOAT.

Hopefully they don't string it out and it's just becomes a short series classic.
